Conversation with my sister

[marmota_b]

She's listening to Lord of the Rings in audiobook form.

Her: It fascinates me how elves are these ethereal creatures and Galadriel sees the future and all that, but they give them immensely practical gifts. Elves are bakers and ropemakers and weavers. You know, Tolkien as a Hufflepuff...
Me: Wait, are we sure Tolkien was a Hufflepuff?
Her: Hobbits.
Me: Okay, yes.

Hah! Hobbitpuff? Hufflehobbit? In any case, these are my people. :-D

Likewise. I actually left out of this little summary of our conversation the bit where I went "well, it makes sense to me, with Tolkien as my kind of people..."
